Thanks for sharing the picture and your experience. I wondered if the drag of a bobber would be enough the get the hook "caught" until the line tightened enough to finish the job and bigger bobbers would logically give more drag.
I think your float is creative and it looks effective. I do think the little basketball would have made a fun float with lots of drag, and a great conversation starter[

Personally I have gone to the smallest floats that will stay up because (with j hooks) I see lots of times the cats spit the bait before I can get the slack out of the line and set the hook. I assume they spit it because they feel the drag, but the hook doesn't stick. This usually happens on windy days in rocky areas around Lincoln Point where the fish are someplace I cant drag the baits.
